The tagline for this series reads, "Sherlock Holmes wasn’t the only fictional detective in Victorian London. Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, other writers of the time created a colorful cast of sleuths", many of which are unknown to casual readers of detective fiction. The great appeal of this series lies in the introduction to some of these characters, which will no doubt inspire viewers to track down some of the stories in which they originally appeared.

Recurring character(s): This anthology series does not feature a cast of recurring characters.

Rating: Not Rated. Running time: 659 minutes.

All of the episodes in this series were adapted from short stories or novels written by contemporaries of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. See specific information about the authors and their characters under the episode synopses.
